Well I been playing the blues for so long
Kinda feel like playing jazz x 2
I dig the random instrumentation.
Play this in eight over three and a half
I been playing the blues for so long, make me feel like tryna rap x 2
I think I'll call…
I heard a story about you
I didnt want it to be true
But it felt like it might
You, well it was all about you
and how the things that you do
Seem strangely undone
And life doesnt help out the weak
A lifetime tends to bring you some…

that is not a sample you hear in the background, it is the dryer going. leave it in? okay, sure i'll leave it in. it's these artistic decisions we're all forced to make.
Written for RPM 2009. The phrase "Actually Stalking" in the lyrics comes from a piece of graffiti on the wall of an underpass under the A470 in Cardiff. Except they spelt it "Acctually Stalking."
I literally pulled this out of my ass in a few minutes. The lyrics just poured out of me once i decided to sing about myself. Very autobiographical, also inspired by polka music. i love polka music!
Thanks for the tip - I'll let our vocallist know! I'm just the lowly synth player.
Really liking your stuff, by the way. You've got a great offbeat gentle thing going on there!

well....this song was written after a long conversation with a friend of mine. We talked about making a difference in the lives of those around us. How is that done? Is it done by working like mad? never seeing the kids? What are we taking with…
It is created between the cracks. it is amplified. if you listen, you feel the space between time. it is created in a life without time. caught in a shadow of light. nothing can exist here. but this does. it is beautiful. it is ephemeral. it is gone.
I don't want to leave you
I don't want to turn and walk the other way
i don't want to leave you
even though you've never heard my name
and i rise from my grave
as if the world was mine to save
you were so cold and lonely
your offer…
Lyrics:
A lazy hound lying on the couch
sleeping the day away
The sunlight comes pushing through the curtains
warming the old dog's face
The savory smell from a wood burning stove
holds you while you awake
Brew some tea while others emerge…
